Fo...The Lucaogou Formation in the Jimusar Sag of the eastern Junggar Basin is an important sedimentary stratum accumulating huge amounts of lacustrine tight oil in China, where organic-rich rocks are commonly observed. Focusing on the Lucaogou Formation, a precise analysis of the inorganic and organic petrology and the inorganic geochemistry characteristics was conducted. The paleoclimate and paleoenvironment during sedimentation of the Lucaogou Formation were established,and the key factors that were controlling the accumulation of organic matter during this time were identified. The results of this study suggest that during the sedimentation of the Lucaogou Formation, the paleoclimate periodically changed from a humid environment to an arid environment. As a result, the salinity of the water and the redox environment fluctuated.During the sedimentation period, the lake showed su cient nutrient supplies and a high primary productivity. The interval studies in the Lucaogou Formation were divided into five sedimentary cycles, where the first, second, and fifth sedimentary cycles consisted of cyclical paleoclimate fluctuations varied from a humid environment to an arid environment and shifted back to a humid environment with levels of salinity from low to high and decreased again. The third and fourth cycles have cyclical fluctuations from a humid to an arid environment and corresponding salinity variation between low and high levels.During the period when organic-rich rocks in the Lucaogou Formation deposited in the Jimusar Sag, the paleoclimate and the water body were suitable for lower aquatic organisms to flourish. As a result, its paleoproductivity was high, especially during the early period of each cycle. A quiet deep water body is likely to form an anoxic environment at the bottom and is also good for accumulation and preservation of organisms. Fine-grained sediments were accumulated at a low deposition rate, with a low dilution of organic matter. Therefore, high paleoproductivity provided a su cient volume of 展开更多

This material was found in the lower part of the Kelamayi Formation (Middle Triassic) of Jimusar, Xinjiang by Professor Cheng Zhengwu. It was identified as Parakannemeyeria by: skull curved, long, narrow and high; preorbital length more than 45% of skull length; the width between orbits less than 40% of the skull length; occipital plate high and narrow. But it also has some characters used to be thought as the diagnosis of Sinokannemeyeria such as broad intertemporal region, reduced nasal middle ridge; these two characters are enough to distinguish this specimen from all other Parakannemeyeria . A cladistic analysis was done for the phylogenetic relationship of Parakannemeyeria chengi among all known species of Sinokannemeyeria, Parakannemeyeria and Xiyukannemeyeria using the characters and data matrix of Liu and Li (2003), only adding the character states of P. chengi (Table 1). A shortest tree was obtained, it is nearly the same as the tree of Liu and Li (2003), other than P. chengi is the sister group of P. shenmuensis . The autopomorphies of P. chengi are indistinct mid nasal ridge, wide intertemporal region mainly formed by parietal (and interparietal), the posterior part of jugal arch nearly triangular in cross section.展开更多
